It stands for The JBA Owners Club. The club
is an non profit making organization and was formed in 1987 by Geoff
Payne, five years after the first JBA was built. Geoff's idea was to form
a club to help individuals build their JBA's.

The Club is extremely friendly and has
increased in size from its humble beginnings, but its main purpose still
remains, to help new owners build their kits. The Club has representatives
spread throughout the UK and one in
Holland. These reps are available to members to help new builders as well
as arranging events and outings in their local area.
All the committee
members and reps carry out duties on a voluntary basis. The subscriptions
are therefore only used to finance the production of the clubs magazine
and expenses associated with getting the clubs displays to shows.
The club have arranged
discounts with several suppliers, including JBA. Accessories and
components from various outlets and Insurance packages.
For new owners and builders this can be a terrific saving and it is well
worth joining the club to take advantage of these discounts. In fact the
savings you can achieve can pay your membership fees for a number of
years.
The membership fee is Free
this year until 31st. March 2002. For anyone joining for the first time. For existing members the fee is £16
per annum until 31st March 2002. The fee for the following year
is £14 a saving of £2 from 1st April 2002.
There are meetings and
outings held all over the UK. Annual events such as Stoneleigh Kit
Car Show and other shows. Annual outings like the Derbyshire BBQ and the
Yorkshire Camping Week.
New members or builders
should come along to a meeting in your local area, with your ordinary car.
You will receive a lot of information and help. You don't have to wait
till your car is built.

The Club has a good
stock of sweatshirts, tee shirts, baseball caps, pennants, badges,
keyrings, pens etc.
These are available from the
Marketing Officer at all the shows, or direct from their home,
name and address in the Magazine. |

Owners Club and it is published quarterly. Spring,

that they get their moneys worth. |
